The Watershed Action Program is KIDS for the BAY’s signature program
in which students in grades 3-5 learn about and care for their local watershed.
Through hands-on science experiments and activities, students learn about
watersheds, urban run-off pollution, food chains, bay organisms, and environmental
justice. Our Watershed Action Program is designed to turn students onto science,
connect students to nature, and inspire students to take action for their
environment.
The Watershed Action Program consists of:
• Five classroom lessons
• An environmental action project
• A field trip to a local creek, Bay, delta, or ocean habitat
• Lessons that address California State Science and Social Science Standards
The Watershed Action Program is also a teacher-training program. Teachers learn alongside their students and receive both a curriculum guide and an equipment kit to teach the program to future students. Up to eight Continuing Education Units are available through our partnership with California State University East Bay.
